Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity for lack of novelty and individual character over an earlier cup design disclosed on Amazon before the filing date.
- ›The applicant relied on an Amazon.de extract for 'Party Pioniere 50/100 Red Cup' with ASIN B06XX7G7VS dated 8 April 2017.
- ›The holder filed no observations, and the Division accepted the Amazon evidence as a prior public disclosure under Article 7 CDR.
- ›The Division found the common cup shape and outer rims dominated the overall impression, so the contested design lacked individual character and was invalidated.
